Agricultural Experiment Station; Agriculture -- New York (State). The Farmhouse 1485 X BARNS ARET IN • THIS DIRECTION'. ROOF In the living area a feeling of spaciousness is obtained by the use of wide doorways and groups of windows through which vistas are seen indoors and out. No interior, however small in actual dimensions, need appear cramped if long vistas are planned for. Good interior design is also evident in Fig. 62. It is indicated by the balanced arrangement of the structural parts of each room. On the rear wall of the living-room is seen a central fireplace flanked by broad doorways of equal width, while the front wall opposite ex- pands into a generous bay window centrally placed, with built-in bookshelves to right and left.
